“Don’t we touch each other just to prove we are still here?”
— Ocean Vuong, from On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous
A doubt arousal
I will tell you it's not me
I am a product of virtues and vacancies
The next decision I take
Isn't mine at all
It is manipulated and churned
Ask me a technical term
I will define gaslighting
While defining gaslighting
If I add few irrelevant facts
Forgive me
I already am manipulated
my next few decisions
Aren't within my control
You have me saying it
But I am trained to say so
You have me telling truth
But I am schooled to say so
You have me telling lies
But I was prepared to sell those
If your guts gave you courage
I want you to believe me
When I say believe me
If you doubt yourself right now
Do it
Wear off yourself
Do it
descrate yourself
Do it
Cleave the thoughts you holding
Do it (yourself)
Severely impotent right?
wait I know it's not you
And now you know it's not me
It as it is defined
Is gaslighting
It ain't red lettered alright ?
This definitely is narcissism.
NARCISSISM IS A RACE

“This is the house that built me and I’m gonna burn it down. This is the river I crawled from and I refuse to drown here. And bless the strippers but fuck the men. And bless the berries but fuck the farm. And bless the daughter but fuck the family. What is a home if not the first place you learn to run from? You’ve got to bite the hand that starves you, and in doing so Praise the place that birthed you. Birthed you fucked up. Birthed you ugly, and interesting, and ready to scream.”
